A dish that tells its story — Ayib reviewed

You can taste history in Ayib if you know what to look for. the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a formalised ritual that can take hours. The intensely spiced and complex character reflects those layers — berbere spice blend doesn't appear by accident; it came from a specific tradition.

The an Addis Ababa restaurant setting made sense of it. You understand the food differently when the context is right. Ethiopian coffee ceremony alongside is part of that story. Some food is just fuel. Ayib, properly made, is something more. This version told the story well.
